2012 Tour de France: Stage 17, Bagnères-de-Luchon - Peyragudes 143.5KM

[TimChristy]

Lame....Basso get to the damn front

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Nibali is trying to win the stage. Not the Tour. That's why Liquigas rides, to keep the break within shot.

Thought people knew.

 

[Dutchsmurf]

Now that descent actually looks promising.

 

[Arnout]

I hope Izagirre gives a show in the downhill.

well they are losing time to valverde so should up pace atleast downhill now

 

[burning]

Voeckler pretty much won KOM, good job to him

 

[Warhawk]

I don't think that's working Jurgen...

 

[Mellow Velo]

Tommy Virenque.
VDB, what are you doing?
All that for a bidon?

 

[Bala Verde]

VDB2 to get a drink ahead of the bunch

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Tommy Virenque.
VDB, what are you doing?

Getting a bottle

Quite. He can't win the tour but this'll provide some succour.

 

[dgodave]

wOW. Half the road fell off the mountain.
.

 

[webvan]

VDB2 taking his cues from Evans, re : attacking in the last 200 meters?!

 

[Lexman]

Liqui are even worse than Sky when setting tempo (i.e. Snoozefest)...no surprise really after their appaling Giro!

What's the use of Nerz, he rides not fast enough why doesn't BAsso did set the tempo? ... they won't get Valverde at this tempo i fear

 

[FellOff]

Voeckler pretty much won KOM, good job to him

Definitely King of That Mouth-thing - he's licked them all.

 

[RedZone]

VDB2 taking his cues from Evans, re : attacking in the last 200 meters?!

Bit harsh, Evans is the one favourite who tried to put in a daredevil attack.

 

[RedZone]

Apart from Nibali

 

[For The World]

Definitely King of That Mouth-thing - he's licked them all.

Oh that was pun...ishing.

 

[Fourier]

this TDF has provided plenty of excitement in the racing-for-bidons classification

 

[Der Effe]

Nibali, what a coward.

 

[Buttelski]

Nibali

Nibali, what a coward.

A bit harsh?

 

[c&cfan]

Nibali, what a coward.

seriously? you are seriously calling nibali a coward?
that's rude and stupid. really stupid.

you described yourself, i'm sure.

 

[Mellow Velo]

All sitting up and riding Basso's descending tempo.

 

[Der Effe]

A bit harsh?

Not harsh. When you put your entire team up front and don't even attack in one of the hardest descents, when you clearly are the best descender, you deserve nothing. Let Valverde win and VDB 'kill' Nibali on the climb.

One of the hardest descents? its basically straight road
